Second floor common room- Sunday afternoon

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

Was it bad that this place didn't take as much getting used to as expected? Sure, day one was filled with a lot of information and surprise and everything. Maddie was rooming with a girl with time traveling parents and a dinosaur, she'd gotten the rundown on the possibility of turning into a boy from a talking pink pony who held mirrors, there was a girl from an alternate universe of where she came from and also at least two Avengers hanging around, one of which was supposed to be dead in Maddie's time. When she went to bed last night, she wasn't sure she was going to be sticking around.

And then this morning she woke up, remembered that she'd been a superhero-in-training two days ago who was going to be a walking ghost in like ten years, and she realized she wasn't really in a different situation than she was before. Well, here they weren't going to ask her to save the world at all, which was exactly the thing she'd been trying to get away from anyway.

Since her side of the room still looked too depressingly empty to want to hide out in there, Maddie ventured out into the common room to check it out. Where "check it out" meant "find a seat on the sofa and make sure they had cable."

"Is it next to a torture chamber? That would only make sense."

Sense might have been a very strong word...

"You'd think so, but no. There's a surprising lack of torture chambers in the creepy basement," Jessica said. "I think you have to go into town for that."

"Now that's just poor space management," pointed out Emily. She had lived enough time with maybe-ninjas to know a thing or two about that sort of stuff. "Someone is missing a good business here."

"I'm pretty sure the school isn't zoned for that kind of thing. And you can't fight town hall," Jessica said.

"Whoever runs this place has my respects." And fear. And maybe even her envy. "Classes better be something then?" Emily added with a very purposeful hint of hopefulness.

"They can be. What are you taking?" Jessica asked.

Emily had of course memorized her courses. "Flight, Improving your skills, pop culture and...that friendship thing. I didn't make y schedules, really." Dammit Takeda.

"You?"
